Ofsted to visit nurseries and childminders this autumn
Ofsted will be visiting some nurseries and childminders from September to make sure that standards are being maintained, although they will not result in an inspection grade.
Ofsted has published guidance that sets out how the interim visits will work in practice and which providers it will be visiting.
The visits are part of a phased return to routine inspection. They are not inspections and will not result in an inspection grade, though inspectors will still be able to use regulatory or enforcement powers if necessary.
The findings will be published in an outcome summary so that parents can be reassured that their children are safe while routine inspections are suspended. Routine inspections of early years settings will not start before January 2021.
Ofsted says inspectors will be "sensitive to the challenges presented by COVID-19 and will always take that context into account".
